Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 48.6%
Batch 20/050 is a 1990 Linkwood bottled in 2020 by G&M for their new and improved Connoisseur's Choice range.
This "upper range" of single malts aged 30 years and above was launched to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Gordon & MacPhail's Connoisseurs Choice range.
G&M have also spiced things up and bottled this one at natural strength. This tantalisingly dark Linkwood was matured for 30 years in a first fill sherry butt that yielded just 348 bottles.
